So far I've shot an XDs .45 and have been able to do a side by side comparison of the XDs and SW Shield, but nowhere can I find a 36. I'm not wholly settled on a 45 yet in the first place, so a 36 may be out of the question anyways, but I'd really like to get my hands on one before I do. Has...
I'm thinking of giving one of these a whirl. I wanted a cheap beater 308 that wasn't an Axis, Edge, 710, 770, or, and I hate to say this, a Ruger American. I wanted a Marlin XS7 or Stevens 200 or a Vanguard if found cheap enough, but choices seem scarce on those. I ran across a bunch of the ATR...
Just need some opinions on the Vortex Impact RA 25-75x70 spotter. A local fella has one for sale for $125. It seems to be bottom level Vortex and I'm not sure if it's worth the $125. Similar to this one on Ebay...

My son and I along with one of my friends went shooting some clays yesterday.... (I know its shotgun related, but we don't have a SG area here and figured this is general enough to fit in here). I recently picked up a Lefty 870 Express with a wood stock for my southpawed son. After several boxes...
I'm starting to settle in on some scopes I wouldn't mind seeing on my varmint AR. I'm now trying to decide which route to go. Essentially, I want some thing with a low power of 3-5 and goes up to 14+. A 40mm bell minimum, but a 50 would be better. Some manner of long range reticle and a first...
Pretty much as the title suggests, I'm wondering if Wannabee Vanguards have the same freebore as an actual Mark V Weatherby. I only ask as I used a load out of the previous edition of Modern Reloading to load for my Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in 300 Wby. I forget exactly what the max load was...
I'm still working on my ammo display board and am just a few pieces of brass from having it complete (all ammo I currently shoot as well as ammo from guns I no longer own). The one that I am going to need help with is 44colt. Unfortunately I sold that revolver, dies and ammo/brass without the...
A friend of mine recently made a display board for the all the various cartridges and shotgun shells he fires. I went ahead a little earlier tonight and put together some components to start in on a board of my own and snapped a pic of the rounds... no board yet though. All the cartridges in the...
Wincheringen, I read this from you on the RCBS Turret thread and was wondering if you could expand a bit on this. Currently, I'm in the gutter of progressives with a Lee Pro1000. I've loaded thousands upon thousands of pistol rounds on that press. It can be temperamental, but once dialed in...
I'm still looking at scope options for my varmint/paper puncher AR. A nightforce simply isn't in the cards for me at this stage of the game. I've come across Falcon scopes and was wondering if anyone has any info on them. They seem to be out of the UK, but that doesn't necessarily tell me where...
I just picked up dies and brass today for the rifle. I am in unfamiliar territory here so any help would be appreciated. I am looking to go with pills on the heavier end of the spectrum... thinking 270s and/or 300s. I lean towards H and IMR powders and use 4350, 4831, 4064, 7828 fairly...
By some off chance, if anyone one has some 375 Ruger dies, brass and/or bullets that's just laying around collecting dust, I might be interested in taking it off their hands.
Despite my better judgement telling me to not go to a gun show less than 1 week after the election, my son and I went anyway. We started on one end of the expo hall and were on the next to last row on the other end of the hall with nothing but a few AR mags to show for our efforts when we came...
I'm not exactly looking for scope brand suggestions, but more for type of scope, magnification power and mag range, reticle, objective size, etc. Brand will be dictated on what I can reasonably fork out at the time. The build I'm waiting on will be a 20" bull barreled 223 with a flat top...
Just got an email from CLNY. Conquests are on sale and Rapid Z reticles get an extra $100 rebate... $329 for a 3-9x40 with the Rapid-Z....

Through some horse trading at the gun shop today, I picked up a Ruger SR1911. One of my trades was a two-tone aluminum alloy framed Taurus 1911. I actually really liked that gun, especially for the bargain that I picked it up for... not to mention it's lighter weight (32oz). Although I like the...
Not that I have a real interest in acquiring one, but I was wondering why Glock's 380 offerings in the US are reserved for law enforcement only. Just curious.
This is somewhat related to a thread I have going in optics, but figured this would be better suited here... I've developed a wild hair for a 375 and/or 416 and have been really leaning towards the RCM cartridges for a host of good and not so good reasons. I'm also heavily leaning towards Ruger...
